Sometimes poly just hurts.

Sometimes it hurts because of things that are specific to poly. Sometimes it hurts for the same reasons that love in general can hurt, mono or poly, but it hurts in that way even more if you have more love in your life.

Sometimes it just feels like too much all at once. Not too much bad, just too much. Too much love and too many kisses and too many friends and activities. Too much stimulation. Too much new, too much old, too much potential pain, too much that could go wrong, too much that isn’t going wrong right now. Too many people involved. Too many hearts, too many minds.

Too much to have. Too much to lose.
